You don’t have to have everything figured out.
Maybe you’re in a period of change, feeling stuck in certain relationships, or noticing patterns you want to understand better.
Therapy can give you space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening, and understand yourself more clearly.
Hi, I’m Alessandra.
I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist working with teens and adults throughout California. I especially enjoy working with college students, young adults, and adults who are navigating periods of change, questions about identity, relationship difficulties, or the ways earlier experiences continue to affect the present.
My style is warm, relational, and thoughtful. I’m interested not only in what you are struggling with right now, but also in understanding why certain patterns developed, how they may be affecting the way you relate to yourself and other people, and what it might look like to respond differently.
I also have significant clinical experience working with trauma, eating disorders, and concerns that feel complex, longstanding, or difficult to untangle. I am comfortable sitting with complicated things, while still making therapy feel collaborative, human, and grounded.
As a bicultural therapist, I also understand that identity, family, culture, and belonging can shape the way we understand ourselves and our relationships. I offer therapy in English and Portuguese.
What feels difficult now is often shaped by experiences and relationships that came before.
Trauma & Relational Patterns
Explore how past experiences and relationships may be shaping the way you feel, see yourself, and connect with others now.
Eating Disorders & Body Image
Care for eating disorders, disordered eating, and body-image concerns, including the emotional and relational experiences connected to them.
Our work may also include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, or family stress as they come up.
Who I work with
Teens
A space to talk openly about emotions, relationships, family dynamics, school, and the things that can feel complicated during adolescence.
College Students & Young Adults
Therapy for a stage of life that often brings questions about identity, relationships, family expectations, career direction, and what comes next.
Adults
Therapy for relationships, life transitions, family dynamics, and recurring patterns that may be affecting how you feel or connect with others.
How I work
My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and collaborative. We’ll focus on what feels most important to you while also paying attention to the patterns, relationships, and past experiences that may be shaping how you feel and relate to others.
Therapy can help you understand yourself more clearly and develop new ways of responding to the challenges you’re facing.
Our work is trauma-informed and grounded in a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Services
Ways we can work together
In-Person Therapy
In-person sessions are available in Los Altos.
Online Therapy
Telehealth sessions are available throughout California.
Getting started
Free consultation
We’ll start with a brief phone consultation so I can hear what is bringing you to therapy, answer your questions, and see whether we might be a good fit.
First session
Our first session gives us more time to talk about what has been happening, your history, and what you hope therapy might help you understand or change.
Ongoing therapy
From there, we’ll meet regularly and explore both what is bringing you to therapy now and the patterns underneath it.
